How to Use Senteo Smart Response

Pull the excel file with your class list onto your desk top.

1. Open your Senteo notebook.
2. At some point, you’ll be asked to name your classroom.  I would recommend just "Teacher_Name" ...i.e. "Schmitt".  Don’t specify AM or PM because the name you give becomes the name for all your classes.  Unfortunately, I can’t remember when it asks for this.  It’s a one-time-only thing.
3. Under Senteo, choose Senteo Manager.
4. Under File, choose Import Class From then Microsoft Excel.
5. Find the first file and click on it.
6. The kids’ names should appear in the Manager.
7. Under File, click Save and name your file.
8. When you turn on the clickers (make sure the sensor that comes with the Senteo system is plugged into your computer), it will make a guess at what class you want.  If it doesn’t show whatever you’ve named your classroom (Rocklage?), you have to go down to Find a Class.  After you’ve gotten your class, you have to put in their ID number.  I always assign clicker #1 to kid #1 and so on.  That makes it easier to put in their IDs.
9. Go ahead with the quiz.
10. After you’re finished, go to Senteo at the top of the page and choose Export Results To and choose where you want the results to end up.  Don’t forget this step!!  If you don’t do this, you lose all your scores.
